TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CON OERN: I

Be it known that I, A. M. OLDS, of New York, of the countyand State of the same name, have invented. a new and improved Vegetable Slicer; and'I do hereby declare that the following is a full and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to thelctters'of reference marked thereon, which form part of this specification. In said dra'Wings- I Figure 1 is a perspective view of this invention.

Similar letters of reference indicate like parts.

This invention consists in constructing a new, cheap, adjustable vegetable slicer, the back of same being perforated for grating purposes. p

A is the back or outside part of the slicer; B, a. plain longitudinal sliding mouth-piece, the top being bent, forming a hook at its projecting end C, (see fig. 2,) by which it isheld ineither of the series of apertures at D, and supported on the inside of the slicer E, 'a ring by which it may be easily adjusted. F F are triangular apertures for receiving and holding a knife, the whole being constructed of sheet metal or tin, surrounded by a wire, or its equivalent, for strengthening, and also forming a handle for the article.

In proceeding to operate, insert a common table or other knife into the apertures F F. Slide the hook C of the mouth-piece into the required aperture at D, audit is ready for use. For grating, detach the mouth-piece.

The combination complete can be nnide very cheap, being compact and convenient, making it an article self-recommending in the culinary department.
